• 1/2 cup apple schnapps
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 whole cloves
• 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
• 2 (1/4-inch) slices peeled fresh ginger
• 1 large navel orange, quartered
• 1 (750-milliliter) bottle fruity red wine
• 1/4 cup club soda, chilled, divided
• 4 thin horizontal slices cored Honey crisp apple

Preparation

1. 1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Refrigerate 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
2. 2. Strain wine mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Pour about 2/3 cup sangria over ice in each of 4 glasses; top each serving with 1 tablespoon club soda and 1 apple slice.

Taste test determins, that  yes! this was as delicious as it sounded. Now a few changes, I used Fiji apples and Rome apples instead of Honey Crisp, and I used 1 1/2 oranges. If i hadn't been hungry at the time of preparation I would have used two whole oranges.
